Owen Caffery | Death | 24/07/1911 | Patrick Caffery | Ann Clarke | 1911/C/2006
Confirms person #49024 (b.1877, parents Patrick Caffery + Ann Clarke) died 1911, not 1955 as previously recorded; consistent with his 1909 marriage to Bridget Marsh and their 1910 daughter Mary Agnes.

Name: Ernest Lyttleton Groom; Event: Birth; Date: 14/09/1863; Father: William Henry Groom; Mother: Grace Lyttleton; Reference: 1863/C/296 || Name: Ernest Littleton Groom; Event: Death; Date: 08/09/1864; Father: William Henry Groom; Mother: Grace Littleton; Reference: 1864/C/126 || Name: Littleton Ernest Groom; Event: Birth; Date: 22/04/1867; Father: William Henry Groom; Mother: Grace Littleton; Reference: 1867/C/599
Establishes that #49784 and #49789 (Sir Littleton Ernest Groom) are two different children of the same couple, not one person duplicated.

No merge is warranted.

Bertie Ivo Bligh | Birth | 30/08/1889 | Father: Richard John Blakeney Bligh | Mother: Catherine Angela O'Keeffe | 1889/C/2165
Registrar's evidence for this person's parents, exactly the tree's #50077 and #50078, and for an exact birth date of 30 AUG 1889 where the tree holds only the year.
Bertie Ivo Bligh | Death | 23/07/1946 | Father: Richard John Blakney | Mother: Kate Angeline O'Keefe | 1946/C/4481
Second, independent registrar's statement of the same parentage, from the death registration, and an exact death date of 23 JUL 1946 where the tree holds only the year. Birth and death registrations agreeing on both parents is about as firm as this index gets.
Richard John Blakney Bligh | Death | 03/12/1925 | Father: Richard Bligh | Mother: Marie Isabel Fennel | 1925/C/4408

The Queensland death registration of this person names his parents as Richard Bligh and Marie Isabel Fennel - the tree's #50085 and #50086, whose 1847 marriage notice is cited on family 15136. This is registrar's evidence, not a compiled tree, and it is what ties the Queensland Blighs to the Sydney family that descends from Governor Bligh. It also gives an exact death date of 3 DEC 1925 where the tree holds only the year.
